CONTEXT Pancreatic desmoplastic small round cell tumour (DSRCT) is an extremely rare malignancy of which very few reports exist. It follows an aggressive course and has a dismal prognosis. CASE REPORT A twenty-four-year-old male presented with a one-month history of rapidly progressive obstructive jaundice associated with abdominal pain suggestive of a biliary colic. Contrast-enhanced CT (CEC...

Adenomyoma is a rare benign lesion occurring commonly in the fundus of the gallbladder in the biliary tract. Ampullary adenomyoma is rarer still, presenting as obstructive jaundice due to its location at the ampulla and may mimic malignancy on clinical and radiological examination. Endoscopic biopsy may not be always diagnostic if the lesion is deep seated. Histologically these lesions show a c...

Obstructive jaundice or biliary tract disorders are often common complaint of patients, and the majority of these patients turned out to have cholelithiasis. Biliary disorders are more common in females than males. Correct methods to detect common bile duct and pancreatic disease in patients with obstructive jaundice are important for treating surgeon to carry out appropriate treatment. For thi...

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common histologic subtype of Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), accounting for approximately twenty five percent of cases. Forty percent of patients with DLBCL present with the primary lesion in an extranodal site. The gastrointestinal tract is the most frequent site of extranodal lymphoma, with the stomach and intestines most often involved. Involve...

Introduction Obstructive jaundice due to carcinoma of the pancreas is uncommon in patients under the age of 40, where jaundice is usually a sequel to viral hepatitis, drug ingestion, alcohol or gallstone disease. The appearance of extra-hepatic obstruction due to carcinoma during the cholestatic phase of viral hepatitis is unusual.

The intrahepatic biliary tree can occasionally be infected by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, but tuberculosis of the common bile duct has not previously been reported. A 38-year-old man with obstructive jaundice, who was originally thought to have cholangiocarcinoma associated with opisthorchiasis (a common combination in Thailand), was finally proved to have tuberculosis of the common bile duct w...

We experienced a case of chronic fibrosing pancreatitis in an 18/12-year-old girl, which was idiopathic because there were no familial back ground, no cystic fibrosis of pancrease, no ductal anomalies and obstruction. The patient presented intermittent colicky abdominal pain and progressive obstructive jaundice, but T-tube drainage and removal of the lymph nodes around the common bile duct reli...

INTRODUCTION Pancreatic tuberculosis is a rare disease even in endemic countries for tuberculosis. Here, we report a case of pancreatic tuberculosis from tuberculosis endemic zone presenting as obstructive jaundice mimicking pancreatic cancer. CASE PRESENTATION A 41-year-old male presented with features of malignant obstructive jaundice. Ultrasonography and computed tomography scan showed mas...

OBJECTIVE To report a case of true agenesis of the gallbladder (GB) with obstructive jaundice due to primary choledochal stone. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION A 66-year-old woman presented with a full picture of obstructive jaundice, both clinically and biochemically. Ultrasound and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography failed to show the GB but showed dilatation of extrahepa...

CONTEXT Malignant melanoma commonly metastasizes to the small intestine where it can cause pain, bleeding, and obstruction. However, jaundice from metastatic melanoma is relatively uncommon. CASE REPORT A case of known malignant melanoma presenting as new onset obstructive jaundice as a result of a rarely reported metastasis to the ampulla of Vater. CONCLUSION Multidisciplinary management o...
